stupid AI builders

Why the fuck they go under enemy (no self-safe behaviour like warriors have)?

Question was not about "mechanical" reason. It was about stupid decissions of AI makers.

Pretty sure Warriors do not have self-preservation code.

Pretty sure (C)AI creators never decided to have it suicide builders. It's just something that happens when AIs tell their units to reclaim. Stopping them from running to their death would require additional code, it's not something that can be achieved by simply toggling a switch or removing a few lines of "suicide code".

That said, don't play against AIs if you can't cope with them making stupid decisions.

Yes, but fact is also that you will always find AIs making stupid decisions with the current level of technology used in ZK. In its current form CAI will never learn on its own and humans can not prepare CAI for all possible situations.

I'm not saying CAI shouldn't be improved, only that you should not expect it to be anything other than a stupid AI.

Well I'm pretty sure there is no code that makes Warriors avoid defenses. There already exists a widget which makes builders avoid enemy combat units. It might interfere with CAI orders though.

wonder if it's possible to give them an invisible weapon with invisible shots and 0 dmg

See: fake weapons.

They don't show up on the spacebar-click panel thing but they're in the code (from what Ive been told they help with orientating towards the target on long reload weapons or something like that.)
